I’ll never take WSO for granted again
Spent some time on Blind and Reddit today looking for job advice and those places are UNBELIEVABLY toxic. The people there just reek with this misanthropic smarminess that makes your average WSO-er look like normal and well-adjusted.
I’ll take 1000 “rank the BBs” and “why you should pick Indiana over Wharton” and “liberals suck” threads over any of the threads over there. That’s all I wanted to say, thank you for coming to my TED talk.
I love you WSO
bless up monkeys
Ur welcome
never confuse GS and RBC for the same thing
Anything on r/all is guaranteed to be cancerous
Nobody else going to point out that a "Principal in VC" went on Reddit looking for job advice?
Either it’s BS or his “VC fund” is $3000 him and his buddies saved up to invest in a local cafe...
Wouldn't be surprised if its some 16 year old hardo, that's already "preparing" for his future title
Right, he is trolling on Reddit
Redditors are straight up strange. Every time I go on there I get the impression that the user base in general is wildly insecure and spends way too much time on the internet. I genuinely enjoy WSB - think its hilarious. However. as someone alluded to above, r/all is probably the most toxic, narrow-minded echo chamber on the whole internet. Pretty much a cult at this point lmao
Reddit sucks but WSO’s user base exudes more insecurity than anywhere on the internet
Facts man
The financial careers sub is just a depressing version of WSO... like instead of banking, it’s people asking about Wells Fargo call centres or financial advisory.
WSO is just more prestigious bro
Facts
We haven't had a ''liberals SUCK'' thread in like a week. They still suck though. Physically and metaphorically.
Definitely need more "neink SUCK" threads
you should enter the PBR circuit for how hard you've been riding his dick recently
I’m at a super target (think H/Y/P/S/Kelley)
I am new to this, But I assume S means Stanford and Kelley is Indiana Kelley?
hurrduurrrr wetard mode
Yup
Surprised there isn't a tc or gtfo culture on wso tbh
People on here are smarter and more driven than Reddit users.
This is the answer. If you found WSO, you probably take a strong interest in starting/furthering your career in finance. Most people here either went to a really good school, or did well in school, or are scrappy and willing to hustle to make it, or any combination of ambitious traits.
Not even trying to sound like a dick but any time I read threads on Reddit it seems like everyone is a complete loser. People who may be in a bad spot and refuse to take any steps to move forward and make excuse after excuse. It’s a toxic/negative place I try to avoid.
Honestly depends what subreddits you browse. I've found the more technical subs much like WSO. Esp the CSCareerAdvice sub where it's an exact copy of WSO except it's for CS majors who want to break into Big Tech. Overall though you are right, I think reddit further pushes echo chambers and two good examples I can give you are any Red Pill subs or any Pro-Feminism subs. Both are toxic and are super echo chambers. I was dumb enough to fall for the red pill meme.
I find the financial minds are more willing to play the philosopher-king role and be critical of the world, at least those interested in investing. This makes them more interesting and generally well-read.
Reddit keeps purging all the fun subreddits. It's only a matter of time before they kill WSB.
Thank you... can't say you all don't keep us on our toes ;)
The r/financialcareers sub (the Reddit equivalent to WSO) sucks but there are some pretty interesting comp threads there and the occasional golden nugget. The discord for r/financialcareers is a very good resource though.
No offense but blind is basically a forum for fresh off the boat Indians in tech. Hence all the misogynistic and money hungry posts
Just say you hate Indians because that is a shitty generalization.
You are a disgusting racist!
REAL BALLER NETWORK ON /b/
I don't know any respectable men or women in IB or S&T that use reddit. Reddit is all the dweeps in highschool that had there girl taken my me.
For all the and cringe threads that pop up here and there, I genuinely think the userbase on WSO is quite intelligent and nuanced, and it's probably one of the better online communities out there.
People who love WSO live in a big bubble....
WSO represents the top 1% of society whereas reddit represents everyone else
